The Dutch Working Conditions Act states that the tanks on tanker ships laden (or previously laden) with cargoes of hazardous substances or toxic gasses must undergo mandatory gasfree inspections by an approved gas-doctor before repairs can be carried out on the ship.
VANDERPERS MARITIME BV(NL) and CHEMEX BV (BE) have the required statutory licenses, hence their independent Marine Chemists, otherwise known as gas doctors, are qualified to conduct such gasfree inspections.
